The Israel Center is working to build and maintain the living bridge between the Jewish Community of Greater Phoenix and the State of Israel, highlighting its history and the people. The Center serves as an educational resource in the community, bringing the culture and uniqueness of Israel to various events throughout the community. Resources include speakers and workshops on Israel that are also available to the community at-large.
The Center also focuses on promoting Israel Experience programs to youth and adults, encouraging and organizing travel programs to Israel.
The center is committed to the future of the Jewish Community in the Valley and is working to strength our younger generations' Jewish identity through knowledge and personal connection to Israel and her people.
The Israel Center is a project of the Jewish Federation of Greater Phoenix in partnership with the East Valley JCC, the Bureau of Jewish Education and the Valley of the Sun JCC. Sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Greater Phoenix and the Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI), the Israel Center serves as the central community resource for Israel-related activities.
